It goes without saying that eyesight is important, and we are delighted that Omega is continuing its support of Orbis International – a non-profit that is dedicated to treating avoidable blindness in remote regions of the world.

Only three of these watches exist and each carries 10 carats worth of diamonds.

The Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul, South Korea was the venue Omega chose to launch its new collection of ladies watches.
